Consultation on guidelines

CCP's public consultation on the CCP's draft interim guidelines is now closed. We thank all parties that have provided contributions. In the interests of transparency, the CCP has published public submissions in response to the consultation on its website. These submissions can be found at the bottom of this page.

This process of consultation will further ensure that our guidance is clear, comprehensible, analytically and procedurally sound, and covers all relevant matters.

Update on CCP guidelines consultation 30/10/09

The Co-operation and Competition Panel (CCP) has today accepted a request from the Department of Health (DH), on behalf of the of Rt. Hon Mike O'Brien MP, Minister of State for Health Services, to defer the publication of its revised guidelines.

The DH has asked that publication of the guidelines be deferred until such a time that the DH has completed its work on developing a replacement for DH commercial operating framework, Necessity - Not Nicety, and its review of the PCT Procurement Guide and Principles and Rules of Co-operation and Competition.

The CCP has welcomed the opportunity to hear and listen to the views of stakeholders - both during the formal consultation period and through ongoing informal engagement as the CCP has established itself. The CCP will continue to operate on the basis of its current guidelines and refine its approach in the light of experience in order to best support the delivery of high quality care for patients and value for taxpayers.

We encourage individuals and organisations with an interest in the CCP's approach to applying the Principles and Rules of Cooperation and Competition to review the latest CCP case reports published on this website. Any specific questions can be sent to the CCP at info@ccpanel.gsi.gov.uk.
